Abstract

This paper uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to optimize drug assignment in Free-Fall-Flow-Rack AS/RS Automated Drug Dispensing (ADD) systems. By prioritizing drug placement within ADD compartments, we develop a systematic approach to enhance dispensing efficiency. The results demonstrate that the AHP and FAHP models significantly reduce retrieval times, highlighting their effectiveness in improving the efficiency of these automated drug dispensing systems.
